Three elite North Korean sleeper agents live under cover for so long that they believe their cover stories are their real identities. They are shocked when they are ordered to kill one another or face death at the hands of an elite hit team.

not only confounds the borderlines between domestic banality and covert war but also smuggles in much action and ultimately tragedy under the cover of easy comedy.

“Secretly, Greatly” starts off as a comedy & veers off into a drama with a graphic, violent ending. Had the film stuck to one genre, the result would’ve been more effective. Still, it’s a worthwhile film that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

Rated: 3/4

Good movie! The mix of comedy and action-tragedy was nice but could have been done a little better in my opinion. Kim Soo-hyun does a great job as the lead, let's just say that.

This is one of my go to movies. It appeases me through what ever mood, as it really has it all. Action, suspense, humor, heart break and tragedy. Kim soo Hyun played both Dong gu the village idiot and Won Ryu-Hwan the 'heartless' north korean spy, fantastic infact all of the actors in this beautiful film, did a fantastic job. Thank you for creating a masterpiece

A desperate story with touching details. The contradicting feeling of a patriot who wants love just as everyone else.
